How exactly did you defined LC_COLLATE? defining everythign in ml_IN is a bad idea; the best to do is to include defautl sorting order and only change (if needed) the sorting of a few letters. > So - how do I include the system collation spec for > say en_US into my ml_IN and still retain my collation > for malayalam ? Can I also include multiple locales > (say for hi_IN, mr_IN, etc) you can only include one AFAIK; but there could be a pan-indian file defining the right ordering for all indian scripts (or at least a good default for them). What are the differences of a proper malayalam sorting compared with just following unicode order? Can your ml_IN be downloaded somewhere?
